If you’re a fan of the NFL you know that while the games may only last about 5 months, the season never truly ends. Whether it’s free agency, OTAs, the upcoming draft, training camp, or the season itself, there’s always something to look forward to. Heck, most of us get excited for the yearly schedule announcement even though we already know who each team will play ahead of time (just not the date/times). The NFL is officially year-round when its fandom reaches that level.
Leading the charge of “offseason” excitement is the draft. After all, there are very few times when it’s more exciting to be a Jacksonville Jaguars’ fan than a Seattle Seahawks’ fan. The months of January and February certainly do not qualify. However, May 8th at about 8:30pm EST is one of those occasions. That’s around the time the Jags will welcome their latest top 5 pick into the fold and it will fill fans with hope for the future. That hope typically lasts until Round #3-ish when something like this happens again.
Of course, this excitement level exists for all fan bases which is what makes the draft such a great event. The other great thing about the draft? The MOCKS! It doesn’t matter whether you’re Mel Kiper Jr., Todd McShay or a poster with the handle TimCouch4Prez_99 over at the official clevelandbrowns.com forum. Everyone has a mock because everyone has an opinion on who the best players are.
And with so many mock drafts available, we figured it would be helpful to locate the top ones and organize them in one spot (don’t worry, TimCouch4Prez_99’s mock didn’t make the cut). We’re even going a step further by pointing out the consensus selections for the top 10 picks. Note that the directory is a work in progress. We’ll keep the list updated (freshest mocks at the top) and continue to add new sources as they become available. If you think we’re missing anyone good feel free to let us know in the comments!
